Vitruvian Fitness to Host Original Strength’s Pressing RESET Workshop

March 3, 2019 8am – 4pm

Internationally recognized Original Strength will introduce their cutting edge movement restoration techniques, called Pressing RESET, at a workshop to be held at Vitruvian Fitness in Wheat Ridge, CO on Sunday March 3rd , 2019. Featured by The Washington Post, The Huffington Post and CNN , these techniques are based on the idea of Pressing RESET (just like you would on your computer or mobile phone). You can press reset on your body by tapping into your nervous system to restore mobility and youthful potential.

Positive, even amazing results have been reported where OS RESETS were implemented and performed regularly. The resets are suitable for everyone and require little time or space to perform and zero equipment.

Tom Wigginton of Vitruvian Fitness chose to host the workshop to introduce the whole concept of Pressing RESET on the body. Wigginton had this to say… “In as little as 10 minutes a few times a week, I was amazed at how well the cumulative physical stresses of my own work were wiped away. Pressing RESET makes you feel good. It’s as simple as that. And many of our clients who are dealing with really significant movement issues are moving better than they have in many years.”

As the foundation for all other strength training, movement systems, human development, physical restoration and overall life improvement systems, Original Strength’s mission is to give health and fitness professionals all the tools necessary to help their clients and patients achieve the best possible outcome. Pressing RESET isn’t just for fitness professionals though. Everyone benefits from learning the system to use in their everyday lives, too.

The Original Strength System applies three key principles which make up each of their “Big 5 RESETS.” Similar to a computer or mobile phone, when it locks up or stops functioning normally, you reboot or Press RESET allowing it to go back to its original state and again function as it should. Some people see changes in a very short time, others over a longer time period, but everyone experiences changes if Pressing RESET regularly and consistently, even for just a few minutes a day.

“Tapping into our reflexive strength with the Original Strength program, is one of the few programs that our team at Johns Hopkins has found meets the foundational needs of virtually every single patient population we see. Our patient populations consist of medically complex patients with cancer, musculoskeletal, neuro, amputees, or transplant and from professional athletes, to the active aging. It is simple to integrate and we are systematically training all of our outpatient providers and support staff including students, rehab techs, residents, and therapists.” – Ken Johnson, Director of Outpatient Physical Therapy, Johns Hopkins

The Cardio Habit - Making It Stick

By Tom Wigginton • June 5, 2025

How to create a cardio habit and turn it into a cardio lifestyle. We’ve talked about why cardio matters . You’ve got a handle on tr aining zones . And you’ve seen how we program your cardio training to maximize efficiency and results. But knowledge alone doesn’t build consistency. Cardio becomes the life-changing ingredient in your life when it becomes routine. So let’s talk about how to get started and how to make it stick —even if you don’t love it, even if your schedule is full, even if you’ve tried and failed before. This article is written mostly for the dabblers . The key is to get started, keep moving, and eventually create a new identity for yourself as someone who finds joy in their daily cardio habit. And to be clear, this isn’t about becoming a pro athlete. It’s about living longer, living better, protecting your independence as you age, and showing up for the future you want.

Cardio for Life: From Daily Dabblers to Podium Seekers

By Tom Wigginton • May 30, 2025

How to build a cardio plan that matches your goals—whether you're in it to win it or just want to feel 10 years younger. Nobody wants to rust out too early and yet, not everybody wants to race either. Most people fall somewhere in between. Maybe you’re not chasing a podium, but you are chasing longevity and quality of life. Or, maybe you’re not training for a triathlon, but you do like to enjoy a long hike without needing three days to recover. Or maybe you are chasing podiums, glory, and fame! In any case, that's great! In part 1 of this series, we talked about Why Cardio Matters . In part 2, we talked about gauging your effort levels by Decoding Your Training Zones . If you haven’t read those, you will find them helpful. Whether your goal is vitality , confidence , or competition , there’s a cardio plan that fits. The trick is structuring it smartly based on what your body needs and your life allows.

Decoding Training Zones: What They Are and Why They Matter

By Tom Wigginton • May 23, 2025

How you can train smarter to live longer, live better, and stay active and independent — maybe into your 90s or 100s. In our previous article, Why Cardio Matters , we talked about the benefits of doing cardio (like living longer) and introduced you to a few terms that might have been new: Zone 2, VO₂ Max, and lactate clearance. We also offered a general recommendation for how much cardio to do weekly. This article takes the next step: breaking down how the intensity you work at affects the benefits you get from each training session. The science of exercising is rich, complex, exciting, and overwhelming. Besides the fact that it is indeed complicated, it’s made worse by having acronyms for everything, buzzy catchphrases, and intimidating fitness personalities. This is where I’m going to try to make this easier to understand, convey why you should care, and encourage you to add cardio to your daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal lifestyles.

Why Cardio Matters: Fitness, Longevity, and What Most People Miss

“Doing cardio.” What even does that mean? For some people, it’s hopping on the rower, bike, ski erg, treadmill, or elliptical and checking the box for however long Tom said to do it, then sneaking out before anyone asks questions. Others train for sanity. It helps manage stress, clear the mind, and release a flood of feel-good chemistry. Also in this category are people who actually just love to run, bike, swim, or play sportsball purely for the fun. And then there are those training for performance—to win races, set PRs, and push personal limits. All of this is cardio. And yet, when you zoom out and look at the data, it becomes clear that cardiovascular fitness does something that has a very measurable outcome: it extends your lifespan . And while we’ve all heard that cardio is good for your heart, most people don’t realize just how deep that benefit runs. And as in the case of so many other aspects of life, the broader public often benefits from the insights that trickle down from elite performance research. So whether you're reluctantly doing cardio or chasing a vibe, you’re tapping into the same physiological systems that turn podium-seekers into podium winners.

How to Select the Right Weight for Each Lift

By Tom Wigginton • May 9, 2025

Question: “How do I select a weight for an exercise, and when should I go up?” We get this question literally several times every single day. And the answer isn't just “go heavier.” The answer is: it depends. Heavier is better—when heavier is appropriate. Sometimes you should go lighter and move faster. Sometimes you should go longer with the same weight. Sometimes you shouldn’t lift at all. Smart weight selection is about clarity, context, and responsiveness. Here’s how we think through it: 1. Is the Movement High-Quality? Before anything else, we ask: Are you doing the movement well? This is Phase 3 work— movement mastery . If you’re still learning the pattern, ironing out inefficiencies, or rebuilding capacity post-injury, weight selection should support technical precision. That means: Moving in clean lines Feeling the right muscles Owning each rep from start to finish

Strength Training and Prostate Cancer: What the Research Says — and How to Get Started

By Tom Wigginton • May 9, 2025

A prostate cancer diagnosis can feel like a loss of control. Treatments like hormone therapy or radiation are often necessary and effective, but they can come with side effects that chip away at quality of life — fatigue, muscle loss, weight gain, anxiety, and more. But there’s a growing body of research that points to something powerful you can control: your strength. Strength Training as a Therapeutic Tool Over the past decade, studies have consistently shown that regular, structured exercise — particularly strength training — can improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer. Here’s what the science tells us:
